Hard Maple
Hard Maple is a dense, durable hardwood recognized for its exceptional strength, wear resistance, and clean, contemporary appearance. Its fine, tight grain and light, uniform color make it an ideal choice for applications where durability and visual consistency are essential.
Hard Maple Features and Highlights
- Smooth, closed grain with fine texture
- Reddish-brown tones that darken naturally
- Excellent workability and finishing properties
- Ideal for cabinetry, furniture, and interior trim
Hard Maple performs particularly well in high-traffic and high-impact environments, maintaining its integrity under repeated use.
The wood’s dense surface provides excellent abrasion resistance, making it a popular material for flooring, work surfaces, and butcher block countertops. It machines cleanly and holds fasteners well, supporting precise fabrication and long-term structural stability. Hard Maple also accepts clear finishes effectively, allowing its natural brightness and subtle grain pattern to remain prominent.
Common applications include cabinetry, furniture components, flooring, cutting surfaces, and specialty millwork. Our Hard Maple lumber is carefully kiln dried and graded for straightness, moisture control, and consistency. This ensures reliable performance, dimensional stability, and predictable results in both commercial production and demanding custom applications.
